As if they didn't have enough on their hands, they also find themselves in charge of troublesome teenage nephew George...This classic early ATV sitcom was created by Clapham-born Fred Robinson and based upon his youthful scripts for plays about a fictional Cockney family. With skilful comic playing and a script that ATV production controller Bill Ward described as the funniest he had ever read, The Larkins inspired great affection throughout its six-year run. First screened in 1963, these episodes have been transferred from the original film telerecordings specifically for this release. |
